Reloading Shotgun Slugs

All Purpose Shotgun?

I'm looking to get a shotgun(s) for both deer, upland and lowland game. Is it better or cheaper to buy two seprate guns or to get the same gun but different barrels? I'd need to use slugs as per Iowa State DNR law and I'd also like to hunt doves, turkey and pheasant. Should I get one gun or two? What type? What gauges (12 or 12/20)?

Nothing over $1100 or too exotic. I prefer side by sides and autos to O/U, pumps and lever actions. I'd like to use 12 gauge for deer, and I do reload, so I'd like to stay the same caliber for everything. No 10 gauges.

Go to your local gun shop, and shoulder some guns. You need a gun that fits you like a glove.

I have a Winchester SX3. One of the most reliable shotguns ever built in my opinion, and many others agree. I originally bought a SX3 Field with a 3" chamber, then bought a rifled slug barrel with rifle sights for around $200, which bought the total cost to $940.

Its shot Canadian geese in freezing weather conditions, doves in the Mojave Desert in California and in Cordoba, Argentina, Ducks in a Ohio duck blind, Pheasant in South Dakota, Chukar in Nevada, Gambles Quail in Arizona, and much more. All in 2 years.

Total round count? 4,250 rounds exactly, WITHOUT one failure to feed, fire, or eject. Also, without any breaking of parts.

True story: My friends and I are in Canada for geese. Its freezing cold. Our guns were oiled, but are now frozen. We both spit in guns (YES nice thick, warm saliva). His Remington 1100 fires the one in the chamber, but doesn't go back into battery. Mine cycles flawlessly, and gets 2 geese.
